BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to an optical imaging lens.

2. Description of Related Art

The increasing popularity of portable electronic products such as mobilephones and digital cameras in recent years lead to the prosperousdevelopment of technologies relating to image modules. An image modulemainly includes devices such as an optical imaging lens, a module holderunit, and a sensor, and the trend of pursuing light-weightiness andcompactness of mobile phones and digital cameras also facilitates thedemands for miniaturizing image modules. Due to the development of thetechnologies for charge coupled devices (CCD) and complementary metaloxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices advance and the reduction of sizesthereof, the length of the optical imaging lens mounted in the imagemodule also needs to be reduced. However, to ensure the effect andquality of photographing, the optical performance still needs to beconsidered while reducing the length of the optical imaging lens.

As portable electronic products (e.g., mobile phones, cameras, tabletcomputers, personal digital assistants, vehicle camera apparatuses,virtual reality trackers, and the like) with novel specifications emergeone after another, the development of a crucial part, i.e., the opticalimaging lens, is also diversified. The applications of the opticalimaging lens are beyond photographing and film recording but furtherinclude surveillance of surrounding as well as video recording duringdriving. Moreover, as image sensing technologies advance, the consumer'sdemands on imaging quality also become higher. Therefore, the opticalimaging lens is not only designed for a better imaging quality and asmaller lens space. Attention is also required to cope with driving orlow-brightness environments, the size of field of view and aperture, andnear infrared detection.

However, when designing an optical imaging lens, an optical lens havingboth a miniaturized size and a desirable imaging quality cannot bemanufactured by simply scaling down a lens with a desirable imagingquality. The design not only involves material properties but also needsto take practical production issues, such as manufacturing andassembling yield rates, into consideration.

Particularly, the technical level of manufacturing a miniaturized lensis higher than that of manufacturing a traditional lens. Therefore, howto manufacture an optical imaging lens meeting the needs of consumerelectronic products and facilitate the imaging quality of such opticallens has been an issue of this field.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferredembodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in theaccompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers areused in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or likeparts.

In the present disclosure, the optical system may comprise at least onelens element to receive imaging rays that are incident on the opticalsystem over a set of angles ranging from parallel to an optical axis toa half field of view (HFOV) angle with respect to the optical axis. Theimaging rays pass through the optical system to produce an image on animage plane. The term “a lens element having positive refracting power(or negative refracting power)” means that the paraxial refracting powerof the lens element in Gaussian optics is positive (or negative). Theterm “an object-side (or image-side) surface of a lens element” refersto a specific region of that surface of the lens element at whichimaging rays can pass through that specific region. Imaging rays includeat least two types of rays: a chief ray Lc and a marginal ray Lm (asshown in FIG. 1 ). An object-side (or image-side) surface of a lenselement can be characterized as having several regions, including anoptical axis region, a periphery region, and, in some cases, one or moreintermediate regions, as discussed more fully below.

FIG. 1 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 100. Tworeferential points for the surfaces of the lens element 100 can bedefined: a central point, and a transition point. The central point of asurface of a lens element is a point of intersection of that surface andthe optical axis I. As illustrated in FIG. 1 , a first central point CP1may be present on the object-side surface 110 of lens element 100 and asecond central point CP2 may be present on the image-side surface 120 ofthe lens element 100. The transition point is a point on a surface of alens element, at which the line tangent to that point is perpendicularto the optical axis I. The optical boundary OB of a surface of the lenselement is defined as a point at which the radially outermost marginalray Lm passing through the surface of the lens element intersects thesurface of the lens element. All transition points lie between theoptical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the surface of the lenselement. If multiple transition points are present on a single surface,then these transition points are sequentially named along the radialdirection of the surface with reference numerals starting from the firsttransition point. For example, the first transition point, e.g., TP1,(closest to the optical axis I), the second transition point, e.g., TP2,(as shown in FIG. 4 ), and the Nth transition point (farthest from theoptical axis I).

The region of a surface of the lens element from the central point tothe first transition point TP1 is defined as the optical axis region,which includes the central point. The region located radially outside ofthe farthest N^(th) transition point from the optical axis I to theoptical boundary OB of the surface of the lens element is defined as theperiphery region. In some embodiments, there may be intermediate regionspresent between the optical axis region and the periphery region, withthe number of intermediate regions depending on the number of thetransition points.

The shape of a region is convex if a collimated ray being parallel tothe optical axis I and passing through the region is bent toward theoptical axis I such that the ray intersects the optical axis I on theimage side A2 of the lens element. The shape of a region is concave ifthe extension line of a collimated ray being parallel to the opticalaxis I and passing through the region intersects the optical axis I onthe object side Al of the lens element.

Additionally, referring to FIG. 1 , the lens element 100 may also have amounting portion 130 extending radially outward from the opticalboundary OB. The mounting portion 130 is typically used to physicallysecure the lens element to a corresponding element of the optical system(not shown). Imaging rays do not reach the mounting portion 130. Thestructure and shape of the mounting portion 130 are only examples toexplain the technologies, and should not be taken as limiting the scopeof the present disclosure. The mounting portion 130 of the lens elementsdiscussed below may be partially or completely omitted in the followingdrawings.

Referring to FIG. 2 , optical axis region Z1 is defined between centralpoint CP and first transition point TP1. Periphery region Z2 is definedbetween TP1 and the optical boundary OB of the surface of the lenselement. Collimated ray 211 intersects the optical axis I on the imageside A2 of lens element 200 after passing through optical axis regionZ1, i.e., the focal point of collimated ray 211 after passing throughoptical axis region Z1 is on the image side A2 of the lens element 200at point R in FIG. 2 . Accordingly, since the ray itself intersects theoptical axis I on the image side A2 of the lens element 200, opticalaxis region Z1 is convex. On the contrary, collimated ray 212 divergesafter passing through periphery region Z2. The extension line EL ofcollimated ray 212 after passing through periphery region Z2 intersectsthe optical axis I on the object side A1 of lens element 200, i.e., thefocal point of collimated ray 212 after passing through periphery regionZ2 is on the object side Al at point M in FIG. 2 . Accordingly, sincethe extension line EL of the ray intersects the optical axis I on theobject side Al of the lens element 200, periphery region Z2 is concave.In the lens element 200 illustrated in FIG. 2 , the first transitionpoint TP1 is the border of the optical axis region and the peripheryregion, i.e., TP1 is the point at which the shape changes from convex toconcave.

Alternatively, there is another way for a person having ordinary skillin the art to determine whether an optical axis region is convex orconcave by referring to the sign of “Radius” (the “R” value), which isthe paraxial radius of shape of a lens surface in the optical axisregion. The R value is commonly used in conventional optical designsoftware such as Zemax and CodeV. The R value usually appears in thelens data sheet in the software. For an object-side surface, a positiveR value defines that the optical axis region of the object-side surfaceis convex, and a negative R value defines that the optical axis regionof the object-side surface is concave. Conversely, for an image-sidesurface, a positive R value defines that the optical axis region of theimage-side surface is concave, and a negative R value defines that theoptical axis region of the image-side surface is convex. The resultfound by using this method should be consistent with the methodutilizing intersection of the optical axis by rays/extension linesmentioned above, which determines surface shape by referring to whetherthe focal point of a collimated ray being parallel to the optical axis Iis on the object-side or the image-side of a lens element. As usedherein, the terms “a shape of a region is convex (concave),” “a regionis convex (concave),” and “a convex-(concave-) region,” can be usedalternatively.

FIG. 3 , FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 illustrate examples of determining the shapeof lens element regions and the boundaries of regions under variouscircumstances, including the optical axis region, the periphery region,and intermediate regions as set forth in the present specification.

FIG. 3 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 300. Asillustrated in FIG. 3 , only one transition point TP1 appears within theoptical boundary OB of the image-side surface 320 of the lens element300. Optical axis region Z1 and periphery region Z2 of the image-sidesurface 320 of lens element 300 are illustrated. The R value of theimage-side surface 320 is positive (i.e., R>0). Accordingly, the opticalaxis region Z1 is concave.

In general, the shape of each region demarcated by the transition pointwill have an opposite shape to the shape of the adjacent region(s).Accordingly, the transition point will define a transition in shape,changing from concave to convex at the transition point or changing fromconvex to concave. In FIG. 3 , since the shape of the optical axisregion Z1 is concave, the shape of the periphery region Z2 will beconvex as the shape changes at the transition point TP1.

FIG. 4 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 400. Referringto FIG. 4 , a first transition point TP1 and a second transition pointTP2 are present on the object-side surface 410 of lens element 400. Theoptical axis region Z1 of the object-side surface 410 is defined betweenthe optical axis I and the first transition point TP1. The R value ofthe object-side surface 410 is positive (i.e., R>0). Accordingly, theoptical axis region Z1 is convex.

The periphery region Z2 of the object-side surface 410, which is alsoconvex, is defined between the second transition point TP2 and theoptical boundary OB of the object-side surface 410 of the lens element400. Further, intermediate region Z3 of the object-side surface 410,which is concave, is defined between the first transition point TP1 andthe second transition point TP2. Referring once again to FIG. 4 , theobject-side surface 410 includes an optical axis region Z1 locatedbetween the optical axis I and the first transition point TP1, anintermediate region Z3 located between the first transition point TP1and the second transition point TP2, and a periphery region Z2 locatedbetween the second transition point TP2 and the optical boundary OB ofthe object-side surface 410. Since the shape of the optical axis regionZ1 is designed to be convex, the shape of the intermediate region Z3 isconcave as the shape of the intermediate region Z3 changes at the firsttransition point TP1, and the shape of the periphery region Z2 is convexas the shape of the periphery region Z2 changes at the second transitionpoint TP2.

FIG. 5 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 500. Lenselement 500 has no transition point on the object-side surface 510 ofthe lens element 500. For a surface of a lens element with no transitionpoint, for example, the object-side surface 510 the lens element 500,the optical axis region Z1 is defined as the region between 0-50% of thedistance between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of thesurface of the lens element and the periphery region is defined as theregion between 50%-100% of the distance between the optical axis I andthe optical boundary OB of the surface of the lens element. Referring tolens element 500 illustrated in FIG. 5 , the optical axis region Z1 ofthe object-side surface 510 is defined between the optical axis I and50% of the distance between the optical axis I and the optical boundaryOB. The R value of the object-side surface 510 is positive (i.e., R>0).Accordingly, the optical axis region Z1 is convex. For the object-sidesurface 510 of the lens element 500, because there is no transitionpoint, the periphery region Z2 of the object-side surface 510 is alsoconvex. It should be noted that lens element 500 may have a mountingportion (not shown) extending radially outward from the periphery regionZ2.

The filter 9 may be an infrared cut-off filter, for example, and isadapted to prevent a portion of infrared light in the ray from beingtransmitted to the image plane 99 and affecting the imaging quality. Inaddition, the object side is a side facing toward the object to be shot,whereas the image side is a side facing toward the image plane 99.

The first lens element 1, the second lens element 2, the third lenselement 3, the fourth lens element 4, the fifth lens element 5, thesixth lens element 6, the seventh lens element 7, the eighth lenselement 8 and the filter 9 respectively have object-side surfaces 15,25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, and 95 facing toward the object side andallowing imaging rays to pass through and image-side surfaces 16, 26,36, 46, 56, 66, 76, 86 and 96 facing toward the image side and allowingthe imaging rays to pass through.
